The prevalence of hypertension is rapidly increasing in the world. Socioeconomic condition and food habits are predicted to be associated factors. The objective of the present study is to estimate the prevalence of hypertension at ethnic groups in Bangladesh and examine the association of food habits with hypertension. Methods: This cross‐sectional study analyzed data from 632 participants aged 55+ in Rangamati, Sylhet, and Mymensingh, Bangladesh, using descriptive statistics and logistic regression to explore factors associated with hypertension. Analysis was conducted using Stata 14.2. Result: Approximately 24% of the participants reported having hypertension, with a higher prevalence in less than 60 age groups. The analysis identified that several key factors such as gender, age group, occupation, education levels, monthly visit in hospital with family, financial support, health condition, anxiety, take meal, sugar, and alcohol were associated factors of hypertension (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Hypertension is prevalent among ethnic groups aged 55+ in Bangladesh, especially those under 60. Key associated factors include sociodemographic traits, health conditions, and dietary habits like sugar and alcohol intake. Targeted interventions are essential to address these risks. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
